Video: September Update and Steam Bending Basics

In general I try to start and finish one phase of building before I move onto the next. This summer, however, I have let things stray a bit.

Some of the project spread was good. For example, I don’t use epoxy on the inside of the boat on Friday so I can put up the hammocks and have boys night outside in the boat with my sons. So… I started working on steam bending on Fridays to keep the epoxy out of the boat and to a minimum. That was good. I am also working on stairs in preparation for my first layer of internal stripping over the aft frame. When this happens, there will be no way to get in/out of the boat without being a gymnast. Thinking about it now is good, but it does add to the open projects list.

I also stopped stripping the outside of the boat in the middle of the 4th layer. I had some logic around it at the time, but now it is just another thing that is half done.

So today I give a video summary of where I am at, and also dive into steam bending a bit.
